Comparing Jet Charter To Commercial Air Travel

When you are looking at choices to fly, you usually can choose from a commercial airliner or a private jet charter. To fully understand your options, you need to compare the pros and cons of both.

Convenience
When it comes to the convenience of flying, it’s hard to beat a private jet charter. With a commercial flight, you often have to show up at the airport an hour or more before your flight and wait in long lines at the ticketing counter and for security screening. Then you may wind up waiting for a significant amount of time before you can board your flight. With a private charter flight, you can show up shortly before your flight is to take off, don’t have to worry about any lines and can get in your seat right away.

Comfort
In a private jet, you either will be the only passenger or one of very few. There won’t be any cramped seats wedged in between strangers, and you will get personal attention from the flight staff that not even first class can provide on a commercial flight.

Speed
When you take a commercial flight, unless you are traveling between two large cities, you likely will have to connect at a hub airport and switch planes, this will add an hour or more to your flight. When you have a private jet charter flight, you can fly to any airport that can accommodate the size of plane you are on, which includes most general aviation airports around the country, which means it’s very likely you can fly direct, which will cut down on your travel time.

Cost
About the only advantage commercial flying has over a private jet charter is costs. Whereas a commercial ticket in coach class will cost you a few hundred dollars, the same flight on a private jet will cost a few thousand. However, if you have the means to pay for a private jet charter, the other advantages can be more than worth it.

Advantages of a New York Jet Charter

Advantages of a New York Jet Charter | The Early AIr Way

Many people may think that they can’t afford a New York private jet charter, but there are some big advantages to private air charter travel that can outweigh the costs for certain people and businesses.

Comfort
When it comes to comfort, there is no comparison between commercial air travel and a private jet charter. With a private jet charter, you will get personal service from the time you show up at the office until you arrive at your destination and get off the plane. You won’t get anywhere near that kind of service on commercial travel, even in first class.

Convenience
You can’t beat the convenience of a private jet charter. You won’t have to stand in ticket lines or security lines, and you won’t have to worry about how many bags you can take and whether you need to check a bag or not. You also don’t have to show up at the airport and hour or more before your departure time and you won’t have to fly with dozens or hundreds or other people.

Speed
When it comes to getting to your destination quickly, a private jet charter is the way to go. Private jets fly about as fast as a commercial jet, but it’s on the ground where you make up time. Not having to be bound by a set commercial schedule allows you to fly when it’s most convenient for you. And the fact that you can fly point to point in most cases, without having to stop at a hub airport, will save you hours.

Cost
On a per-ticket basis, a private jet charter is more expensive than even a last-minute first class ticket on a commercial flight. But for a business that has to fly several people to the same destination, a private jet charter might actually be a better deal. It pays to at least check into it and not assume the charter flight will be more expensive.

Private Jets Furnishings Customized

One of the perks of flying private aircraft is that the interior of each one is furnished in a style unique to that airplane. Some can even be fitted with golden sinks. This one in particular is styled to mimic a vintage train, for those more old-schooled travelers with time constraints.

The corporate jet can ferry up to 19 passengers with 5 mini-suites for the basic feel of a private train cabin. A wide lounge connects these suites and a parlor for a movie center and room for conversations. The master bedroom has an en suite bathroom with shower, a private office space, and a convertible sofa and conversation space.

Benefits of a Hawaii Private Jet Charter

If you are flying to Hawaii, a private jet charter for your long plane trip might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but it could be the way to go. There are many benefits to flying a private jet charter instead of commercial that people might not be aware of. When booking your next flight to Hawaii, consider the following benefits of a Hawaii private jet charter.

Comfort
Flying to Hawaii from anywhere in the continental U.S., even the West Coast, takes several hours. For such a flight, you can’t beat the comfort of a private jet charter. You will have more room and more amenities than you can get even in first class on a commercial flight.

Convenience
When you are flying to Hawaii, every extra bit of convenience that makes your trip more tolerable counts, and you get those little extra bits of convenience with a private jet charter. When you fly private, you don’t have to show up to the airport extra early, stand in long ticket or security lines, have to worry about how many bags you can bring and how much they will cost or spend tons of time waiting on the plane for passengers to get on and off. Instead, you can save time and your sanity by arriving shortly before your flight and boarding your plane quickly while also disembarking quickly when you arrive at your destination.

Speed
If you are going to Hawaii for vacation or to see family, you probably want to get there as soon as possible. You can’t beat the speed of a private jet charter. In addition to saving time on both the boarding and arrival processes, you also have the advantage of being able to fly straight to where you are going. If you are visiting an island other than Oahu, you can fly straight there rather than having to change planes in Honolulu for another flight.

Though it is more expensive than a commercial flight, the benefits of a private jet charter can make it something you should consider for your next flight to Hawaii.

Private Jets to Get Faster With New Aircraft Concepts

New designs in aircraft are expected to cut travel time as new planes reach unbelievable speeds. The Antipode, a concept craft so far is estimated to fly at 12,427 miles per hour, or Mach 24.

With past supersonic aircraft for travel, upkeep is too expensive for commercial applications, so the new designs are more geared towards smaller aircraft carrying about 10 passengers. Private jets that incorporate these new concepts would be capable of travelling from New York to London in 11 minutes, or New York to Sydney in roughly 30 minutes.

This style of flight would be perfect for those intercontinental business meetings for lunch, and returning home for dinner.
